       Bbm    C#     Ab 
I'm a cloud drifting by 
(F#) F     Bbm    C#      Ab 
Dripping tears from the sky 
(F#) F     Bbm    C#      Ab 
I'm a snail without a shell 
(F#) F     Bbm    C#      Ab 
Leopard with a golden bell

I've got nowhere to go

Choking on a chicken bone

For a home sweet, no sweet home

Running with my roots pulled up

Work your fingers to the bone 
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab 
Building castles out of snow 
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab 
I'm a nomad walking on 
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab 
Humming to the same old song

Lower case society

Tied to no community

A kingdom without a king 
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab 
With no sense of belonging
